Event details
The team behind Rubix Warehouse, Free Dope, Techno Mansion and a lengthy list of Melbourne's best underground parties, are paving the yellow brick road to the ultimate happy place, for all who dare to stare down the looking glass.
November 3-6 you're invited to join a historical celebration, marking the changing of the guards of the property and the opening of Melbourne's biggest outdoor venue 'Our Friends Farm'. Only 1 hour drive from MLB CBD, the venue previously known as 'Bruzzy's Farm' has been home to Boogie Fest and EVIE for the last 11 years, designed and built specifically for outdoor festivals and large events.
With 3 nights of quality music over 2 incredible stages, kid spaces, art, culture and even a Good Life village where you can get a fresh juice, do some yoga in the morning or learn some new skills, this is more than just another music festival. Friends of Ours is a gathering for the Melbourne bass music community, opening the gates to endless fields of fun that let you heal, learn and dance off the shackles of the system, finding a new love and respect for the land we share and those we share it with.

SUSTAINABILITY POLICY
- Strictly no glass permitted on site, there are over 200 sheep who live on the property and they don’t like walking on glass anymore than you do. Any glass brought into the festival will be confiscated.
- All recycling (even food scraps) is done on site so please put your rubbish in the correct bins provided during the festival and leave your campsite how you found it when you leave.
- Please avoid bringing anything that can become waste, and if you do, please take it home with you. It is our first event on this beautiful property and we want to create a culture of respecting the land and maintaining a pristine site.
- Lots of hot showers and drinking water provided throughout the camp sites, please be mindful of water usage as the whole property survives on tanks.
- Bring a reusable drinking vessel.
- Bars and food vendors to use bio degradable straws and cutlery.
- Please be mindful with your purchases before coming to the festival and shop locally where possible.
FAMILIES
This is a child friendly event. We encourage families to come and enjoy the adventurous weekend at the farm. All children must be cared for by a responsible adult at all times. We suggest pitching up with other friends with families so you can take turns on free time.
DICKHEAD POLICY
We believe in strengthening community and have zero tolerance to dickheads, violence, sexual predators, drug pushers or theives. Any problem guests will be removed from the festival and banned from all future events at the farm. Lead by example and contact security or crew if you see any of the above.
